- Annoying third-row packaging

The 2025 Toyota Fortuner remains unchanged compared to previous years. While the SUV has been a popular model in other markets, it has not achieved the same level of success in Australia compared to its ute-based sibling.
Despite sharing similar mechanicals and bearing the Toyota badge, the Fortuner is substantially outsold by the Ford Everest.
One potential factor affecting the Fortuner's popularity is the presence of the Toyota LandCruiser Prado in the same segment. The Prado, for a higher price, offers a more refined cabin, a distinct design, and a larger, more comfortable interior. With the introduction of a new Prado model, the differences between the two vehicles are expected to increase further.
